Volunteering Initiative: “Welcome, Paint, Transform”
Starting university life is also about making a positive impact on the community. In this volunteering activity, new students at Católica Porto will help paint facilities at the Associação Norte Vida, contributing to a more welcoming environment for those seeking to rebuild their life projects. It will be an opportunity to build connections and make a difference through small but meaningful actions.
Students from different degree programmes at Católica Porto will take part in this volunteering activity.
Registration is mandatory and must be completed using the Registration buttonbelow by 4 September 2026. For further information about the activity, please contact CASO: caso.porto@ucp.pt.
